“The Syrian army advanced on Wednesday on the Islamist-held northern village of Tal Hassel, a monitor said, as jihadist rebels in nearby Aleppo called for mass mobilisation to counter the offensive. Fighting raged at Tal Hassel, located about 12 kilometres from Aleppo, the country’s pre-war commercial hub, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Jihadist fighters in Aleppo have called for mass mobilisation to counter regime advances after the Islamists suffered a string of setbacks around the northern city.”
